I was shocked to find out these chic sandals are actually Crocs — and they're 25% off

If you had told me a few days ago that I would be buying a pair of Crocs, I would've actually laughed in your face. It's not like I turn my nose up at Crocs-wearers, it's just that the polarizing shoe brand doesn't really match my wardrobe. Well, for the past two days my TikTok and Instagram feeds have been flooded with the same pair of super cute black wedge sandals. So, imagine my surprise when I realized that said cute shoes are actually Crocs. Before you ask, no, the Crocs Brooklyn Low Wedge Platform Sandals look nothing like the infamous clogs. With a double-banded upper, cushy low platform wedge heel and matte black material, they look like something straight out of Reese Witherspoon's closet in the '90s. While I would pay full price for these Crocs sandals, they just so happen to be marked down by 25%, bringing the cost down to $41. I mean, I already have grand plans to wear them all over Greece on my honeymoon this summer and to any and every beach/pool day. First off, it's spring, where new sandals are dropping left and right — usually at full price. So spotting a pair of trendy sandals on sale before summer hits is a rarity. Like most Crocs, these cost a pretty penny, normally retailing for $55. Now, though, the sweet 25% discount brings the wedges to $41. (You can also snag them on sale at Zappos and directly from Crocs.) Just to reiterate: These Crocs do not look like Crocs. In fact, they're a little bit, dare I say, elegant? You can style them in so many ways. Pair 'em with jeans and a tee for a casual day or slip them on while donning a flowy, flowery dress. Honestly, you can get away with wearing them to weddings with more casual dress codes. What made the original Crocs clogs so popular in the first place is the level of comfort that comes with each step. Just like the not-so-stylish classics, these lightweight wedges are made with the brand's signature Croslite foam to keep your entire foot happy. But these puppies up the ante in comfort with a LiteRide foam footbed that gives the heels — yes, heels — sinkable but supportive softness. Oh, one more thing! They're waterproof, so you can wear them to a pool party and not have to worry about sacrificing a good outfit while lounging. Crocs enthusiasts and tentative newbies have given these sandals rave reviews — we're talking over 12,000 perfect five-star ratings. This five-star reviewer gets right to the point: "I am a Crocs hater," they explained. "I've always thought they were dumb and ugly, but these are cute, comfortable and basically the perfect warm-weather shoe. I can walk 30K steps on vacation in these with no foot pain." "Super comfy and stylish," shared a second reviewer. "Wore these on vacation in Brisbane to walk around in. Surprisingly comfortable and can go from beach to restaurant." "No one knows they're Crocs," revealed this sneaky shopper. "They look nice with lots of summer outfits. For an educator, they are great for long days on my feet and walking. The height is just right. The straps adjust well but did take a little time to break in. Great value! Never had a blister with these sandals." "These Crocs are so comfortable, it's ridiculous," declared this fan. "They fit perfectly, the quality is outstanding and the design is so attractive. Even though they aren't leather, they look just as good. And they will be more versatile." This satisfied Amazon customer explains: "I was worried that the wedge would be too much for me, but they are incredibly sturdy and very comfy. I wear them all day on hard floors and my feet don't ache at the end of the day. I now own four pairs!" While shoppers are generally big fans of the Crocs (hello, thousands of flawless ratings), a few noted some things. This five-star reviewer says they're "great for walking," but the "only downside is if your feet swell, they will rub around the toes." They added: "Overall I still think these are very comfortable." If you're eyeing one of the lighter colors, heed this warning from a four-star reviewer. "These are fun, comfy, lightweight, a nice basic sandal with a bit of an edgy vibe," they started. "Only downside is the nice silicon material shows and attracts dirt and scuffs super easily." They did write, though, that it's "easy enough" to wipe off.
